Woman sees God's hand in donation

Five years worth of hair given to Locks of Love.

FORT MADISON - With a few quick snips of the scissors, 10 inches of hair Debra Aldridge had been growing the past five years no longer was attached to her head.

After her haircut was over, Aldridge sealed her hair in a plastic bag so she could send it to Locks of Love - a nonprofit organization that helps balding children throughout the U.S. and Canada by providing free hair pieces made of real hair. The program is for any financially disadvantaged child suffering from long-term hair loss, no matter the reason.
